🍔✈️ Can you bring food on a flight? Solid snacks are generally easier to carry, but liquids and destination-country rules can be different. Always check your airline and airport’s current rules before you pack. Save this for your next trip! 🌍
✈️ Liquids in hand/cabin baggage
* Maximum 100 ml per container — even if the bottle is only partly full.
* All liquid containers should fit into one transparent, resealable bag of up to 1 litre.
* This includes water, shampoo, perfume, toothpaste, creams, gels, lotions, liquid makeup, sauces, etc.
* A 500 ml bottle containing only 50 ml generally does not qualify—the container itself must be 100 ml or smaller.
* Medicines, baby food and special dietary liquids can have exemptions, but you may need to present them separately for screening.
🧳 Liquids in checked baggage
Larger quantities can generally go in checked luggage, provided the substance itself is permitted for air transport. Flammable liquids, fuels, corrosive chemicals, etc. can be prohibited regardless of baggage type.
🛍️ Duty-free liquids
Liquids bought after security can be allowed in larger quantities when properly sealed according to the airport’s security/transit requirements. If you have a connecting international flight, check the transit airport’s rules.
Example:
Perfume 100 ml ✅
Shampoo 100 ml ✅
Shampoo 200 ml ❌ in cabin bag
Water bottle 500 ml ❌ through security
Empty 1-litre bottle ✅
🧴 Carry-on / cabin bag
* Each liquid container: maximum 3.4 oz / 100 ml
* All containers should fit in one quart-size (about 1 L) clear, resealable bag
* This applies to liquids, gels, creams, pastes and aerosols.
* A 200 ml bottle containing only 50 ml can still be rejected because the container capacity is over 100 ml.
